Question 8694 — technical and vocational education

Summary

Ms. Geneviève Levy draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to the project to create a higher technician certificate in mechatronics. Mechatronics is the alliance of mechanics, electronics and IT grouped into a single system. An alliance of skills used to put “intelligence” into a mechanical product in order to control it, monitor it, to alert, or obtain information and improve the performance of all types of equipment. The shipbuilding and repair sector, present mainly in 4 regions in France including Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is growing strongly. Since 2010, the number of jobs in shipbuilding and repair has increased, unlike the industry as a whole. It is shipbuilding and ship repair that record the greater progress. The southern region offers real job potential in this industrial sector positioned on maintaining complex, highly technological and high value-added vessels in operational conditions. Faced with the emergence of this new profession, engineering diplomas, masters and professional licenses are currently emerging. A strong demand from the Ministry of Defense led national education, from 2016, to set up an additional “mechatronics” mention in the Var. If the additional term "mechatronics" was able to respond urgently to the needs for qualifications and employment in the national navy, it turns out that this additional term will no longer meet the high added value requirements essential to the naval industry of today and tomorrow. The creation and opening of a BTS “ mechatronics” is a request made by all the stakeholders and corresponds to a major challenge for the development of this sector. A “mechatronics” steering group, bringing together local manufacturers, national education, and higher education, was initiated by the region. The lack shared with Italy, particularly in the naval and maritime field, of suitable training, encourages companies on French territory to provide themselves in other countries. This is why she asks him to please specify the measures that the Government intends to take with a view to setting up such a system.
